Before starting, preheat the oven to 450˚F. Wash and dry all produce. Core, then cut pepper into 1/4-inch slices. Cut tomato into 1/4-inch pieces.
Add beef, breadcrumbs and half the Parmesan to a large bowl. Season with pepper and 1/2 tsp salt (dbl for 4 ppl), then combine. Roll mixture into 8 equal-sized meatballs (16 for 4 ppl). (TIP: If you prefer a firmer meatball, add an egg to the mixture!)
Arrange meatballs on a foil-lined baking sheet. Bake in the middle of the oven until golden-brown and cooked through, 10-12 min.** Meanwhile, heat a large non-stick pan over medium heat. When hot, add marinara sauce. Bring to a simmer, then remove the pan from heat. Add 1 tbsp butter (dbl for 4 ppl), then stir to combine. Transfer cooked meatballs to the pan, then toss to coat. Season with salt and pepper, to taste.
Meanwhile, open sub rolls. Arrange on an unlined baking sheet, cut-side up. Sprinkle half the mozzarella into rolls. Toast in the bottom of the oven until rolls are golden-brown and cheese is melted, 3-4 min. (TIP: Keep an eye on rolls so they don't burn!)
Meanwhile, whisk together vinegar, 1 tbsp oil and 1 tsp sugar (dbl both for 4 ppl) in another large bowl. Add tomatoes, peppers and spring mix. Season with salt and pepper, to taste, then toss to combine.
Divide meatballs between sub rolls. Spoon any remaining sauce in the pan over top. Sprinkle with remaining mozzarella. Cut subs in half crosswise. Divide meatball subs and salad between plates. Sprinkle remaining Parmesan over salad.
